Abstract
A method for classifying music includes providing music classification data, providing an unclassified piece of music to be classified, and deriving for each music class within the music classification data a respective Gish distance value. A finite set of a finite number of Gish distance values is descriptive for the relation of the unclassified piece of music to be classified with respect to a discrete and finite set of a finite number of music classes. Alternatively, for a given piece of music to be classified, music classification data of a n-tuple of at least three numbers are obtained, which are representative for the mood of the piece of music. From the n-tuple of numbers of the music classification data a pair of two dimensional coordinate values are determined, which are representative for the mood of the piece of music.
